[03] Government Spokesman - Denktash - Foreign officials
Nicosia, Jan 12 (CNA) -- The Cyprus government does not object to contacts
between Turkish Cypriot leader Rauf Denktash and foreign officials provided
there are no messages of recognition of the illegal regime in the Turkish-
occupied northern part of the island, its Spokesman Michalis Papapetrou
said today.
Commenting on reports of an invitation by German Foreign Minister
Joschka Fischer to Denktash, Papapetrou said there were no indications
suggesting that Fischer intends anything other than assisting efforts for a
Cyprus settlement.
